TL;DR: A model is proposed which accounts for the formation and structure of ta-C films on the basis of the compressive stress generated by the shallow implantation of carbon ions, and an optimal range of beam energies between 15 and 70 eV, a high film stress, and a graphitic surface are predicted and confirmed by experimental evidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, an amorphous diamond-like carbon film was analyzed and the fraction of sp2-bonded carbon was quantified and found to be of the order of 15% and it was not possible to determine if the sp2 carbon was on the surface or throughout the bulk.

TL;DR: In this article, a method devised by Lord Rayleigh to enable the calculation of the transport properties of circular cylinders in square and hexagonal arrays is described, and the theory is confirmed by measurements on arrays of perfectly conducting cylinders, and also is compared with asymptotic formulae due to Keller (1963) and O'Brien (1977).

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the structure of amorphous carbon (ta-C) can be simulated using ab initio quantum mechanics with high elasticity and low friction coefficients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended a method devised by Lord Rayleigh to calculate the conductivity of a simple cubic lattice of conducting spheres in a conducting matrix, which is capable of including the effects of multipoles of arbitrarily high order, and yields excellent agreement with measurements on arrays of perfectly conducting spheres.
